John Morrison is OVERRATED

[RavensFlock1990]

Watching this guy lately there's no way I can ever see him as a top star or a credible world champion.

He's cringe worthy on the mic and there's no other way to put it. His William Wallace impersonation was the last straw for me. He has the voice of a little boy who's voice never broke. His attire and look doesn't match his ass-kiss attitude either. Why does a guy that looks like a stuck up hollywood star care so much about approval from a crowd of small children and constantly show everyone so much respect and suck up every chance he gets.

I even think he's overrated in the ring. Like McIntyre said he can do a few flips and flops. Who cares? He can't tell a story and other than a few flops he can't do shit.

WWE has tried forcing him down our throats for years. Whether it was beating Punk 100 times on ECW and even on SD when Punk was world champ or having a long ass IC Title reign. Nothing has worked. He still gets mild pops and the crowd usually dies during his matches which is a sign they only popped cause he's a face and not cause they care. An example of this is a guy like Matt Hardy who can get huge reactions just by taunting during a match cause the fans actually care.

I hope him losing tonight is WWE finally realizing Morrison just ain't good enough to be pushed any higher. I guess he's a good looking guy and can do a few flips that any gymnast could do is the reason they've kept trying to push him for so long.

What do yall think about Morrison?

 

[Toroc102]

I halfway agree with you, I used to think he was really terrible in the ring and the true definition of a spot monkey in ECW, but now I think he's a good enough wrestler to be in the Main-Event.

However I agree with you on his mic skills, they don't match his kick ass look and attire and neither does his attitude even though he's a face he could stand to be a lot more cocky(too bad cocky is a bad word for a face in PGWWE). Its the same problem(although to a much lesser degree)that Swagger has, his look is kind've hampered by the fact that he has to talk. Its not just about Mic Skills but his your voice. I think John Morrison could be comparible to HBK, but he lacks HBK's voice, and unfortunately he's not very good on the mic either(I thought the Mr. Ziggles thing was SOOOO lame, like it was barely an insult, Jericho he isn't).

Overall though, I think if he changes up his promo style a bit and improves his Mic Skills over time he'll be Main-Eventing at some point, for now its holding him back though.

Watching this guy lately there's no way I can ever see him as a top star or a credible world champion.

I'd say exactly the opposite. He has everything that I would want to see a future world champion be like. Great in the ring, great on the mic, cool entrance.... Morrison is simply very entertaining in all aspects. At least in my opinion, anyway.

He's cringe worthy on the mic

Actually I find him to be one of the best on the mic. Why don't you like him on the mic? Is it because he says things that are a little silly?

His William Wallace impersonation was the last straw for me.

I thought that was hilarious. We can agree to disagree though.

He has the voice of a little boy who's voice never broke.

I'm not sure why you think he sounds like his voice hasn't changed.... there are wrestlers out there with higher pitched voices than him, I guess theirs' couldn't have changed either if Morrison's supposedly sounds like it didn't.

His attire and look doesn't match his ass-kiss attitude either. Why does a guy that looks like a stuck up hollywood star care so much about approval from a crowd of small children and constantly show everyone so much respect and suck up every chance he gets.

First of all.... his coats look really cool. Second.... he is a face. Face wrestlers are supposed to care about fan approval, it is his job as a face to get you to cheer for him while he entertains you. Third, he's not stuck up his character is just really confident in himself.

I even think he's overrated in the ring. Like McIntyre said he can do a few flips and flops. Who cares? He can't tell a story and other than a few flops he can't do shit.

The fans obviously care or else Vince would stop pushing Morrison. He's very talented in the ring and deserves the push he has been getting.

WWE has tried forcing him down our throats for years. Whether it was beating Punk 100 times on ECW and even on SD when Punk was world champ or having a long ass IC Title reign. Nothing has worked.

No they haven't. They have been pushing him several times because the fans like him and want to see him succeed. That is why he got the ECW and IC title reigns, as well as his current push. Something DID work because he is very over now.

He still gets mild pops and the crowd usually dies during his matches which is a sign they only popped cause he's a face and not cause they care. An example of this is a guy like Matt Hardy who can get huge reactions just by taunting during a match cause the fans actually care.

Not necessarily. Morrison has far more fans than you might think. The fans do care about him or else his push would have ended a long time ago.

I hope him losing tonight is WWE finally realizing Morrison just ain't good enough to be pushed any higher. I guess he's a good looking guy and can do a few flips that any gymnast could do is the reason they've kept trying to push him for so long.

Or maybe he lost because he is getting moved to the upper midcard and couldn't be there while still holding the IC title? Don't count out Morrison yet, he's actually one of my picks as a potential winner of the Rumble.

What do yall think about Morrison?

Future world champion, and I'm a big fan of his. I can see that you might not be, and that's cool.... but I disagree on him being "overrated" because he is anything BUT overrated.

I'm willing to debate this further if you disagree with my response.

One thing I never understood was why people said John Morrison was great and Jeff Hardy was crap, in my opinion they have extremely similar styles. Now I like both of these guys but why are people blind to the obvious, they pretty much do the same thing, high flying finisher, ground finisher, fly about the ring a bit, the odd bit of mat wrestling, they even have similar gimmicks.

I think the high-flying style is a fickle one where people just go for the person they prefer but I think thats for another topic

I can't speak for all of those who prefer Morrison to Hardy.... but it might have something to do with the bad choices that Hardy has made in real life. If that doesn't count as a legit reason, then it might be because Hardy was awful on the mic and only over because of his high flying spots.

What it comes down to is this.... people are going to root for who they choose to root for. I might agree with them, or disagree with them and start a debate.... but either way I respect their opinions in the end. Someone who thinks that Morrison is overrated might not like him, and they have every right to not like him. Just as I have every right to not like Hardy and think that HE is overrated.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinions, mine in this case happens to be that I prefer Morrison to Hardy AND think that Morrison is NOT overrated because he has a lot of fan support as well as being everything that a future world champion should be.

Because the IWC hates main event babyfaces. I think Jeff Hardy was alot better than Morrison is. Jeff could tell a story in his matches and could do alot more than just flip around. A good example to show how good he is was his match at Judgement Day this year when he out wrestled Edge (Edgeheads will disaree of course but whatever).

Plus Jeff had a natural charisma about him and even tho his promos wasn't anything special I didn't mind his voice. Morrison's on the other hand is like somebody raking a chalkboard. And Jeff's look was him being him. His whole character was the real person Jeff Hardy. Morrison's character is just all out of wack and nothing seems real or adds up.

 

[Carolina dude]

Thank you!

He is massively overpraised/overrated.His striking ability is horrendous,his vocal skills aren't really progressive and his crowd reaction during matches are very low for a guy that's been very pushed like he has.

He was appearing on all three shows w/Miz.

He pinned CM Punk twice.

He had a World Title match with Jeff.

He defeated Rey for the I.C. Title and fans STILL don't chant his name or react much to him during matches until his finishing move.

His fans say he's a main event ready performer but he's not.He's missing the crowd connection.Even a vanilla Yoshi got over nicely when he debuted.

Morrison isn't the people's choice.Guys like Matt and R-Truth are more over
but Morrison is the one that's gonna get overfed down throats most likely.

Dude has a DVD coming out early next year.That's proof enough that they
think he has "it" and he's in the center of that WWE magazine even though
Kofi is more over.

What do yall think about Morrison?

I don't get where all your hate for him is coming from.

John Morrison will be a future main eventer. He has the look of a champion, can actually speak on the mic and is a good wrestler.

There is nothing wrong with Morrison on the mic. He is alot better than more than half of the roster. He can speak without is sounding forced and has a charisma about him which is a good thing.

The reason why he cares what the fans think is because he is a face... They are meant too care what the public think of him. Other wise he would be a hell. Wouldn't it look bad if Triple H comes out and says I don't give a damn what you think of me, cheer who you like etc.. It would make him heel.

How is he over rated in the ring. Has anybody said he is like Kurt Angle or Bret Hart in the ring. No they haven't but for his style of wrestling he is amazing. All he can do is flips he can do alot more than that, he can actually tell a story. He can sell moves being done to him and can make moves look believeable. By your logic you should hate Shelton Benjamin and Evan Bourne then.

How has John Morrison been shoved down our throat. He has never recieved a massive push, just small ones in which all have been pretty good and he has improved a great deal. Some one being shoved down our throat is Sheamus who is shit in the ring and on the mic, he went from beating Goldust to kicking Jerry Lawler to beating John Cena for his world title. That is being shoved down our throat. He actually gets a pretty good pop. Last night he was pretty over with the crowd alot more than the face of the company infact.

He is better than Drew McIntyre in every was possible so he should not off lost. If this goes too a main event push for Morrison then its all good. He can do a lot more than flips you know like I stated previously.

What do I think of him? Hmm I believe in 2010 he will a world champion by then or at least pretty darn close whilst some one you like is drifting into obsucrity.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

There is nothing wrong with Morrison on the mic. He is alot better than more than half of the roster.

He's given a lot more time to talk than the wrestlers he's supposed to be better than. He's nowhere near as good as he should be for somebody who, in all likelyhood, will be a world champion over the next year.

He can speak without is sounding forced

That is one thing he can't do. Cena makes his shouty promos more free flowing than Morrison.

Wouldn't it look bad if Triple H comes out and says I don't give a damn what you think of me, cheer who you like etc.. It would make him heel.

Depends, HHH could deliver it in a way that would make fans cheer for him.

He can sell moves being done to him and can make moves look believeable.

He has the least believable offence in wrestling.

How has John Morrison been shoved down our throat. He has never recieved a massive push,

He was given the ECW title when it was still kinda important.

he has improved a great deal.

Not really. In late 2006, early 2007 he was having great matches with Jeff Hardy. He's not having great matches with anybody right now.

Some one being shoved down our throat is Sheamus who is shit in the ring and on the mic, he went from beating Goldust to kicking Jerry Lawler to beating John Cena for his world title. That is being shoved down our throat.

Again, not really. He's still behind Big Show, Cena, Orton & D-X in terms of exposure.

He is better than Drew McIntyre in every was possible so he should not off lost. If this goes too a main event push for Morrison then its all good. He can do a lot more than flips you know like I stated previously.

Flips aren't befitting of a main event wrestler.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

I think Morrison is slightly overrated as well. He's not that great on the mic and I don't know any other superstar beside Cena or DX who gets that much time on the mic. I'm still not a fan of his in-ring work as well. He has style and I just don't see the substance. Could I buy Morrison vs. Batista or Morrison vs. Undertaker? Not yet, but there is still time. Obviously, they're going to push him since he lost the title and I will be surprised if he is in the main event of WM 26.

 

[The Doctor]

Morrison isn't really that good on the mic when he's not working alongside The Miz. I'm not saying The Miz carries him, but they have such good chemistry together. Their promo before Bragging Rights was absolutely excellent for both of them. Morrison really shone in that segment.

However, alone he is not that good. His promo before facing Jeff Hardy for the title was...really bad.

Overrated? Maybe a little. I happen to really like him, both in ring and his look and persona. However, with people trying to claim he's a God on the mic, yeah he's overrated.

 

[Mantaur Rodeo Clown]

He's given a lot more time to talk than the wrestlers he's supposed to be better than. He's nowhere near as good as he should be for somebody who, in all likelyhood, will be a world champion over the next year.

This guy was awesome on the mic when he was world champion. Twice.

That is one thing he can't do. Cena makes his shouty promos more free flowing than Morrison.

Maybe he's the voice of a new generation.

Depends, HHH could deliver it in a way that would make fans cheer for him.

Because HHH is the tits. He's also had far more time to practice, being the head of 2 factions and opening up most RAW's in 2003/4 with a 10 minute promo.

He has the least believable offence in wrestling

.

Oh hello there Jacob.

He was given the ECW title when it was still kinda important.

And it was still kinda important when he lost it.

Not really. In late 2006, early 2007 he was having great matches with Jeff Hardy. He's not having great matches with anybody right now.

It's all a matter of the dance partner really. He's having pretty good matches with someone far less experienced or capable than Hardy. I wonder how a McIntyre/ Hardy match would fare. Did you cringe too? Don't lie.

Again, not really. He's still behind Big Show, Cena, Orton & D-X in terms of exposure.

Has nothing to do with Morrison, moving on.

Flips aren't befitting of a main event wrestler.

But this isn't 1963 anymore, nor is it 1984. Maybe it's time wrestling evolved a little bit. Maybe it's time all of the world champions weren't just good at brawling and power moves. God know, they tried it our with that Hardy fella, and that Guerrero chap. Why not young Morrison?

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Oh hello there Jacob.

Rey Mysterio's moves make perfect sense. He's got to utalize his speed and he doesn't try to hit flips that look like they're difficult to perform. Morrison does stuff to look flashy but there's no logical sense why you would perform those moves.

And it was still kinda important when he lost it.

Not really.

It's all a matter of the dance partner really. He's having pretty good matches with someone far less experienced or capable than Hardy. I wonder how a McIntyre/ Hardy match would fare. Did you cringe too? Don't lie.

John Morrison has had matches with Hardy & Punk this year, none of which were of the quality they were two years ago.

God know, they tried it our with that Hardy fella, and that Guerrero chap. Why not young Morrison?

Yeah, but people wanted to see them as champions. Morrison get's an ok reaction at best. Guerrero & Hardy were worth a shot as champions, Morrison isn't.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

His moveset is the one thing I don't get about Morrison. He has decent size and build so he doesn't need to do flips and shit all the time. However, the fans pop for those moves and it would be a different story if he was a face first and then a heel. If he ever goes back to heel, he is going have to change what he does and there's no better time to start then now. His knee to his opponent's face is like Sweet Chin Music- doesn't connect half the time.

 

[DirtyJosé]

His attire and look doesn't match his ass-kiss attitude either. Why does a guy that looks like a stuck up hollywood star care so much about approval from a crowd of small children and constantly show everyone so much respect and suck up every chance he gets.

Because he's a face. And he's a performer, which by definition seek approval from a crowd. And when does he suck up? I think that's a "I'm too cool to dig faces" comment. At least it sounds like one. Was he a "Kiss my ass" club member? I must have missed that.

I even think he's overrated in the ring. Like McIntyre said he can do a few flips and flops. Who cares? He can't tell a story and other than a few flops he can't do shit.

I have issues when people say someone can't tell a story because it may be that you are trying to read a book in a foreign language. I happen to think he puts on a fine match (well, he pulled a Starship Botch last night, but it's not like no one else ever screws a finish in their careers). So does that mean I'm wrong or that you are? No, it just means different strokes for different folks. Plenty of people like flips and flops (See also: Jeff Hardy's entire career).

WWE has tried forcing him down our throats for years. Whether it was beating Punk 100 times on ECW and even on SD when Punk was world champ or having a long ass IC Title reign. Nothing has worked. He still gets mild pops and the crowd usually dies during his matches which is a sign they only popped cause he's a face and not cause they care.

Um, a pop is a pop. If a crowd didn't care, they wouldn't pop (See also: MVP/Mark Henry). Also, I wouldn't call the Punk/Morrison rivalry "forcing him down our throats", I'd call that booking two young stars to play off each other. Some of you people pay so much attention on who wins and who loses that I wonder if you can ever really see "the story" being told in a match.

An example of this is a guy like Matt Hardy who can get huge reactions just by taunting during a match cause the fans actually care.

.

Bad example. I love Matt, I really do, but people will just have to accept that he is likely a career mid-carder. Not because he sucks, but because it's his lot. Yeah, he gets pops, but NOTHING like what Jeff gets. Yeah, he gets pops, but it's never really ANYTHING beyond what any other face gets. Did he get derailed when WWE dropped the ball on his return vs Edge? Yeah, I think it could've been done better. But what's done is done. I don't think it's fair, but it's what I think is true. Morrison at least has a future.

I hope him losing tonight is WWE finally realizing Morrison just ain't good enough to be pushed any higher. I guess he's a good looking guy and can do a few flips that any gymnast could do is the reason they've kept trying to push him for so long.

I don't get it. You like Matt Hardy. You like Christian. But this guy is all flips and flops to you. Sadly for you, Morrison losing the title is either him moving into a feud with McIntyre, or him moving up the ladder some more (See also: Kofi losing US title earlier this year). I don't get how you can ask for pushes for someone like Kofi (who I love btw, but is equal with Morrison on the flip-flip-o-meter and the level of mic skills) but dismiss Morrison as a "gymnast" who can do tricks.

What do yall think about Morrison?

I think he's a fine performer with great potential. Yes I think he should be at the top of the card someday, and no, I don't think it should be right away. I wasn't 100% happy with this IC run because he was never given opponent to really develop a memorable feud with (See also: Ziggler vs Morrison matches being cancelled or pushed back all summer). Perhaps this is that chance with Drew.

 

[rkoshouldvewon]

I'm so happy someone else feels the same way. I have never been a fan of John Morrison. I don't necessarily hate his work, but I also don't think he's a great WRESTLER. Heck for all of Jeff Hardy's flaws (sloppy at times and bad on the mic), Jeff could at least put on interesting and compelling match even w/o the high spots. Jeff had different holds, as well. JoMo isn't bad, but he isn't great either. I agree about his mic work, attire, and overall presentation of the character. It infuriates me to no end when folks out there say he's the next HBK. Other than the fact everyones been the next HBK for the last 10 years --- JoMo isn't at all. Shawn could rip people to shreds in the ring and on the mic. He always got a ruckus reaction, positive or negative. Morrison gets a mild to decent reaction and he's been around for how long now in a semi-prominent position as tag champ, IC champ, and ECW champ? 5 years? Maybe if he wasn't overpraised I wouldn't feel so bothered by him, but he is overly praised when Ziggler, and the closest equivalent being Jeff Hardy, can put on a better match

 

[losmariachi]

John Morrison as champion after everything? Is that who you want? He's been suspended before. He's only over mainly because of acrobatics. He's been lost in the shuffle for seven years and just NOW hit his stride. Note that he had to go backwards in order to go forwards. He started out in a tag team, went solo, failed, got repackaged, starts out in a tag team, goes solo, fails, repackaged, tag team, goes solo. That is NOT a good track record.

 

[X]

I'm sorry but how exactly is John Morrison overrated? Because he's an "acrobat"? Yeah, so was Shawn Michaels, one of the most acclaimed professional wrestlers to ever live. Morrison is solid in the ring and he is over HUGE with the crowd. Seriously, did you see the reaction the crowd gave him at TLC? That was the pop of the night bar none. It's only a matter of time before Morrison is holding a world title over his shoulders, so I hope you guys are ready for it whether you think he's overrated or not. Morrison has had great matches this year with guys like Ziggler, Mysterio, Punk, and the Hardys among others. Seriously, how is the man overrated? I don't get it.

 

[Leafy]

I love Morrison. Maybe because he was in the first main event I saw live or because of the program between him and Punk on ECW.

His offense is I admit, unbelievable, but he brings flashy moves to the ring and he provides entertainment. He helped The Miz to what he is today. He's produced many quality matches this year, Bourne vs Morrison, Mysterio vs. Morrison, and Hardy vs. Morrison. Why do his moves have to be believable. Is a leprechaun believable? Mysterio beating Show or Khali, no but that's the business of wrestling.

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

Morrison is as charismatic and as good as anyone in wrestling right now. How is he overrated? He's a great worker, great with the crowd, has the look of a champion and helps wrestlers have great matches. He sold the beating from Drew McIntyre like a champ should. Morrison is on to bigger and better things, and don't be surprised if he wins the Royal Rumble or Money in the Bank. He's THAT good and right now, it's best to strike while the iron's hot and have him pushed to the moon at this point.

He didn't get a bigger pop than DX,Taker,Mickie and Cena.YOU prove how
overrated Morrison is.

Morrison isn't really over.Mickie James is someone who is over
and she got a BIGGER pop than Morrison at TLC.The crowd was
silent during Morrison's match like always.

Look at the weak reaction he got on Raw yesterday.Don't tell me
"that crowd sucked" because even Khali got chants and Mark Henry
got a decent pop unlike Morrison.

Morrison fans live in a fantasy land.

One Morrison fan said he's the 2nd most over face on Smackdown after Taker which is absurd.R-Truth has a better crowd reaction and his haters don't like it but Matt gets "Hardy" chants during his matches.

And now another Morrison fan says he got the pop of the night? Wow.Fans don't
even chant his name.

 

[X]

He didn't get a bigger pop than DX,Taker,Mickie and Cena.YOU prove how
overrated Morrison is.

He sure as fuck did get a bigger pop than Mickie and Cena. Cena was met with his usual half-boos and Mickie was met with minor applause. DX and Taker I'll give you.

Morrison isn't really over.

Yeah. Yeah he really is. Apparently you don't understand what the term "over" means. See, when John Morrison goes out to the ring, and the crowd is popping for him more than anyone else on the midcard? Yeah, that's called being over. Love to hear how it isn't.

Mickie James is someone who is over
and she got a BIGGER pop than Morrison at TLC.The crowd was
silent during Morrison's match like always.

Well apparently we were watching different shows, because I have the show on my computer right now and Morrison's pop is pretty damn big, much bigger than Mickie James.

Look at the weak reaction he got on Raw yesterday.Don't tell me
"that crowd sucked" because even Khali got chants and Mark Henry
got a decent pop unlike Morrison.

That crowd DID suck, are you kidding me? That was one of the absolute worst crowds in the history of Raw, they were pissed off all evening long.

Morrison fans live in a fantasy land.

That fantasy land is pretty fuckin' big then because Morrison is over big time with the fans.

One Morrison fan said he's the 2nd most over face on Smackdown after Taker which is absurd.R-Truth has a better crowd reaction and his haters don't like it but Matt gets "Hardy" chants during his matches.

Lol R-Truth? Yeah the crowd gives him a good reaction because they like to sing along with his abysmal "rap". The crowds used to sing along with Mabel's rap songs too ya know.

And now another Morrison fan says he got the pop of the night? Wow.Fans don't
even chant his name.

Go watch the show again, and tell me he didn't. The only people who's pop was comparable was 'Taker and DX.

 

[Remix]

Also, John Morrison's pyro is better than any of the guys who are more over than him, which warrents a push all by itself.

And so that this isnt spam, I do think John Morrison is overrated by some of his fans. This is for the same reason that guys like 'Taker, HHH, HBK and every other wrestler is overrated. Some fans (not all) think he's essentially god's gift to wrestling and is in the same league as Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle, and Bret Hart. He's not, he is however a good cruiserweight style wrestler who has the ability to sell offence and work an ok-good match in between the spots. Also he has a beautiful finisher, which adds to his awesome cruiser status.

 

[Remix]

Actually I watched that match on SD. The cround was chanting 'Morrison' repeatedly. And last time I checked, that's a reaction. They also popped big time for his entrance. I cant remember what reaction the triple threat divas match got, though I'm pretty sure that Morrison got a bigger reaction.

And since crowd reaction = overness, a bigger pop for John than Mickie = John being more over. you can't argue with the maths.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Morrison still needs to work on some things before I'll believe him as main-event material. I'm still not a fan of his offense because when he does those flashy moves, half of them come at times when he doesn't really have to do them. I noticed the comparison to HBK of being an "acrobat" and Morrison has a good build like Edge so I don't see why he has to be that way. I heard Rey Mysterio being criticized as having a nonbelieveable offense but he has to utilize his speed and his spots seem to flow with the match unlike Morrison's. I'm curious to see how he would perform against the Undertaker's and Batista's because I don't believe his offense would be as good as he was facing them as opposed to Ziggler, Mysterio, or McIntyre. The flips are okay and all but you have to evolve sometime. Hardy did and I'm sure that Morrison can.
